Leeds House Extension Builders

home extensions builder in leeds

As house prices in Leeds continue to rise and the costs of moving escalate, more and more homeowners are deciding to invest in their current property rather than opt for a change of scene. At Refresh we are experts at adding living space and value to your home by creating beautiful extensions that are not only sympathetic to the existing structure but designed in such a way as to improve your whole family’s quality of life.

What types of house extension do Refresh offer?

- Construction
- Demolition
- Home extensions
- Ground floor extensions
- Single storey extensions
- Double-storey extensions
- Adding a second storey
- Home additions
- Interior design
- Floor plans
- Electrical work
- Plumbing

What are the benefits of a house extension?

Increasing the amount of living space should, without doubt, improve your family’s lifestyle, and the indications are that it can also add value to your property as long as the ceiling price for the local area will support it. There’s an argument to say that the value that an extension adds is more likely to be realised over time, especially if the project is complex and therefore requires a significant budget, but in general, any additional living space will often be attractive to potential purchasers. The key to adding genuine value is to create an extension that is not only in proportion to the existing house but also matches the quality of the build – it’s not uncommon, for example, for a poorly built extension to devalue a property. Statistics indicate that a professionally built two-storey extension can add as much as 11% to the asking price of a property, so there is an argument to consider a second level if funds permit, especially as the structural work would already be in place for the first storey.

How much does a house extension cost?

In order to work out a budget for your home extension, you’ll need to make a few important decisions, not least of which is whether you need one or two storeys. In addition, there’ll be a direct correlation between the cost and the square footage you require. A very rough guide to budgeting is that a single-storey extension can cost in the region of £1,500 - £2,500* per square metre, while a two-storey solution may require around £3,000- £4,500* per square metre. The discrepancy here, and therefore part of the appeal of a double-storey extension, is that by creating a second level you are only adding walls and joists since the roof and foundations would already be required for a single-storey version. The level of budget required should also be influenced by the clarity and ambition of the design brief and the style of the fixtures and fittings that you specify.
*Please note that these are rough estimates only. For a high-level indication of what your unique design will cost, the Refresh Process is designed to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.

Why choose Refresh?

Even if your extension falls under the permitted development rights, you should still require architectural drawings, and building regulations approval. Your Refresh renovations consultant can take care of all planning requirements for your project before any work commences to ensure that the project is planned out properly, budgeted accordingly, and our processes and systems ensure that everything is completed on plan and on budget.

Does a house extension need planning permission?

Permitted development rights allow you to extend your home without requiring planning permission as long as your home extension adheres to some specific conditions.
Single story extensions can be added to a property under permitted development as long as they fit within the size restrictions and are in keeping with the existing finish of the property. Permitted development often does not apply to properties in conservation areas and areas of outstanding natural beauty, and can almost certainly not apply if your property is a listed building.

What areas does Refresh Service?

Refresh Leeds and Wakefield offer home extension design services in Garforth, Horsforth, Boston Spa, and the surrounding areas.

Your Style,
Your Budget,
Our Expertise

Refresh®’s process supports a bespoke design and build: a renovation tailored to your lifestyle requirements and taste. Your local House Extension renovation consultant will manage every aspect for you - working to keep everything on track.

Step 1

Briefing / Initial Consultation

The first thing your House Extension renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation. In this initial consultation, you can throw all of your ideas on the table - your consultant will then tailor them to your property and budget.

Step 2

Concept and Feasibility

With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your House Extension consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up. This allows your House Extension consultant to assess whether or not your ideas are feasible, and allows you to point out any changes you would like in the design - before any work begins.

Step 3

Working Drawings and Costing

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made. If you would like to make any further changes, now is the time to do so. From there, your House Extension consultant will present you with a fixed-quote as well as a contract.

Step 4

Build / Construction Stage

Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life. Your House Extension consultant will do everything in their power to keep your project on schedule so that it can be completed within a set timeframe and budget.

Step 5

Your Finished Renovation

The final stage is for your local House Extension consultant to ensure that all Council documentation is completed and you have the necessary Code of Compliance documentation. Congratulations – your renovation is complete!
